Chapter 57: The Strong Are Supreme!
Looking at the large pool of blood flowing out from Hongfei's body, Yue Yunjie's eyes blinked, his expression didn't change at all. On the other hand, Yue Yunwen, who was standing beside him, had been somewhat annoyed and couldn't bear to watch before Yue Yu took action, intending to intervene again. However, he was pulled back by the sleeve, watching as Hongfei's chest was pierced by a sword.
Yue Yongjie had never been without regret in his heart, he had guessed from the beginning that with this little guy's intricate methods, it was likely not just to show them his value. Unfortunately, hesitating for a moment earlier and sending someone to call the elderly of the clan took too long, and the trump card held by this young man gave him a shock that far exceeded his mental bottom line.
Who would have thought that a youth who was less than half his height could, aside from those astonishing sword skills, also casually use such a speed-enhancing secret technique?
Yue Yung-chieh was equally not indifferent to the relationship and alliance with Tan Yun Castle. However, the fate of this young master of Tan Yun Castle had actually been predetermined long ago when Hung-cheng's throat was pierced.
If he had only 40% confidence in the young man's identity before, then after their encounter, he was almost certain that his opponent should be a member of the Yue family. Having the opportunity to personally kill two of the strongest members of the Yue family who were still alive would not be easily given up by any power with good or evil intentions towards them. Moreover, from the young man's physique, he also had some vague guesses.
But in Yue Yunjie's view, even if this speculation is wrong, the people of Dan Yun City may not necessarily believe that their Yue family has nothing to do with it.
Since things have come to this, even if Hong Fei's life is spared, it would be of no use. On the contrary, if the young master of Dan Yun City continues to live, that would be a real trouble. Yue Yu will take his life with his own hands, even if he doesn't make a move.
But to say, this person is not one of the two who can be protected if they want to. The strange soldier in Yue Yu's hand, combined with a style of wind secret sword, even if he recovered to his perfect state before losing his right hand, may not be able to withstand it.
So he's even more curious now, what will this young man do next?
Yue Yu also felt Yue Yunjie's gaze with a hint of inquiry, he turned his head and smiled at this nominal 'uncle', then his line of sight began to search the hall again. Just for a moment, Yue Yu's eyes lit up slightly, and he walked towards a seat on the right side of the main hall.
That was the fourth seat at the bottom of Yue Yunwen's place, his nineteenth brother Yue Lin, and another elegant woman, were staring at this side with a pale face. Along the way, some people also saw the killing intent in Yue Yu's eyes, hesitating to come forward to stop him. However, in the end, they all let out a sigh and gave way after a moment of hesitation.
Able to defeat all the martial artists in the temple within 112 steps, stunning them with his powerful swordsmanship and talent. However, after piercing the throat of Canglang Sword King with one sword, injuring the wrists of Yue Yunjie's two brothers, he made them unable to muster any resistance against this young man again.
Yue Yu walked almost unimpeded to the front of the banquet table, first looking at his cousin Yue Lin. Yue Lin's expression was not fearful, but pale, with a look of regret, helplessness, anger and pleading in his eyes, and he tightly grasped the hand of his fiancée Rou Yu, whose veins were bulging.
Yue Yu's lips curved slightly as he saw the situation, knowing that Yue Lin had probably already guessed his identity, but hadn't spoken out to expose him on the spot. However, Yue Yu didn't pay much attention to this and with a casual wave of his right hand, he used the Golden Crow Sword to behead the girl standing next to Yue Lin. Without any hesitation, he led Lin Zhuo towards the entrance of the hall.
Just as the two of them left the grand hall and disappeared into the night, a gentle breeze also blew into the hall. Hong Zheng, who had long since lost all signs of life, fell to the ground with the wind. His arm and sword were still straight, and his eyes, which had lost all their luster, stared up at the sky, as if telling the story of his master's unwillingness to yield.
Suddenly, a series of sighs echoed in the hall, and heavy breathing sounds rose and fell. Almost everyone's eyes showed a dazed and confused expression, as if they were still dreaming.
In the depths of the grand hall, Yue Yunwen silently gazed at the headless female corpse beside Yue Lin. Meanwhile, Yue Yunjie's face revealed a hint of helplessness as he gestured with his left hand towards the ground, absorbing the tenth-grade alien sword that he had dropped into his palm. Then, intentionally or unintentionally, his gaze shifted towards the few surviving Wu warriors from Dan Yun City.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, this young man deliberately spared the lives of these few people, also not with good intentions. What's even more distressing is that he was hesitant whether to help the other party or not, and his mind was indeed wavering.
When Yue Yu left the City Master's Mansion and merged with Rong Li outside, the demonic birds that had gathered in the sky were already slowly dispersing. The medicinal water he gave to Huang Fan, although pungent, also evaporated quickly. At first, it could indeed confuse the carrion-eating demonic birds in the sky for a short while, but this time was at most only around ten to twenty minutes. Soon, these extremely vigilant flat-haired beasts would change from anxiety to observation.
As the threats in the sky were gradually resolved, a large number of people inside the city also began to rush quickly towards the direction of the castle lord's mansion where the alarm sounded. This made the escape route of the three even more difficult, and even with Yue Yu's intelligent auxiliary system, which could analyze and predict through seismic vibrations, wind sounds, and other signs on the ground, there were several times when they collided head-on with those rushing to the castle lord's mansion.
However, the most troublesome thing is still the followers behind. The warriors in the main hall of the city master's mansion, although they were more or less injured, but there are not a few who have both legs intact. At this moment, following behind, can't kill, and can't shake off, it's really annoying.
Under the helpless situation, he finally had to resort to desperate measures, swallowing three Replenishment Pills in one go, using up all the Wind-elemental Crystals in his hand, and then continuously casting Gust six times without stopping, pulling Ran Li and Lin Zhuo along as they rushed forward. Only when the meridians inside his body were aching did he manage to shake off all the pursuers behind him just as they were approaching Nancheng.
At this time, it was absolutely impossible to return home, and the only place to settle down was the store in the south of the city. However, Yue Yu still had some misgivings, so she hastily used some spices to cover up the bloody smell on her body, then took Ruan Li and Lin Zhuo with her to circle around the city, and hid in a mansion in the west of the city for two hours.
Afterwards, things turned out to be just as he had expected. The Yue family's next move was a massive search of the entire city, with the most important area being the south of the city where they had lost sight of them. And the three of them waited until there were no more movements from that direction before hurrying over again.
At this time, the patrol in the south of the city was still extremely strict, but as long as it wasn't a carpet search like before, it wouldn't be difficult for Yue Yu to get through. When the three of them crawled into the pharmacy through the window on the second floor that Huang Fan had deliberately left open, they only saw the old shopkeeper pacing back and forth in the room, looking extremely anxious. It wasn't until he saw Yue Yu's small figure appear at the window, following Lin Zhuo and Ruan Li, that he let out a sigh of relief.
But Huang Fan's tense mind had just relaxed for a moment, and he was again tense because of the bloodstains on Yue Yu's chest. At the same time, he was secretly surprised that this seemed to be a battle that had passed, and he didn't know what this young master had done in the city lord's mansion. Could it be that, as he had previously suspected, he had actually gone to assassinate the young master of Dan Yun City?
Just as Huang Fan thought of this, Yue Yu suddenly tore open his chest with a "poof" sound. As the temporary bandages used to dress the wound were unwrapped layer by layer, a wound over ten inches long was exposed before the eyes of the three people.
